INSTRUCTIONS

Use this template as a sample format to comply with the photo documentation requirements outlined in the ENERGY STAR MFHR Testing and Verification Protocols and Worksheets. Add, delete or re-size photo boxes and descriptions as necessary.

EPA suggests compressing the resolution of photos prior to inserting into the template to make the file size more manageable, however all nameplates and details demonstrating compliance must be clearly identifiable.

Tip: Once the cursor is inside the desired photo box, select ‘Insert’(’Picture’(’From File’ from the menu above in order to automatically resize the photos to fit the boxes.
